* [[WhatYouAreInTheDark "Who Am I?]] starts out as a pretty dour TearJerker. Valjean has just learned from Javert that "Valjean" has been arrested for breaking his parole and will be sent back to jail. After a moment of struggling with what to do, Valjean concludes his inner debate with "If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned" and as his voice fades, the orchestra grows in volume and fortitude. He then spends the rest of the song hyping himself up, that God will help him on and that "this man bears no more guilt than [Javert]". Valjean then belts "Who am I? 24601!"

Valjean has just learned from Javert that "Valjean" has been arrested for breaking his parole and will be sent back to jail. After a moment of struggling with what to do, do (speak out and go back to jail, dooming the town or stay silent as an innocent man suffers for a crime he didn't commit and thus rendering the Bishop's kindness moot), Valjean concludes his inner debate with "If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned" and as his voice fades, the orchestra grows in volume and fortitude. He then spends the rest of the song hyping himself up, that God will help him on and that "this man bears no more guilt than [Javert]". Valjean then belts [[IAmSong "Who am I? 24601!"24601!"]]. It's a very nice examination of how Valjean (who would've left this man to suffer in his place at the start of the musical) has grown and changed.

* In the 35th anniversary concert, after rescuing her from the Thenardiers, Valjean pulls out a beautiful coat and puts it on Cosette. They hold hands and spin around, then adult Cosette's actress enters to replace little Cosette. Once adult Cosette has taken Valjean's arm, the two Cosettes give an adorable nod to each other!

* Valijean rescuing Fauchelevant from the cart he is pinned under, even knowing it will draw Javert's attention to him and could get him recognized is this and a CMOA in all versions. But in the book version it goes much further. Fauchelevant is a former business rival of Jean who he inadvertently drove out of business, and Valijean goes further by getting the man a new job now that his new livelihood has been lost due to the broken cart.
